Chapter 763

But Summer clearly had no intention of giving her that chance.

Breakfast ended.

Leah stepped forward to remind Stella, “ Miss , it’s time to go .

“ Where are you taking her?”

When Felix saw that Leah, one of Aaron’s people, was about to take Stella away , his brows‘ drew together.

Stella said , “ Aaron told me to go with Lea-”

15.84

“There are a few places within the family that Miss needs to become familiar with , ” Leah said, cutting her off. “Mr. Hogarth asked me to take her today.”

Stella glanced at Leah instinctively.

Leah smiled at Felix.

“Actually , I’m the one accompanying Miss . ”

Stella said nothing.

Leah was accompanying her?

But Aaron had clearly said Stella was supposed to go with Leah.

It sounded like a small difference , but it was not.

If Leah was accompanying Stella , Leah was there to follow Stella’s lead.

If Stella was going with Leah, then Stella was expected to follow Leah’s instructions all day.

But since Leah had put it that way to Felix, Stella did not say anything else.

She only nodded to Felix.

Felix nodded back. “Go on, then. It’s getting late.”

“I’ll take Miss with me now , ” Leah said respectfully.

Felix gave a small nod.

Stella got into the car with Leah.

Once they were on the road, Stella looked at Leak through the rearview mirror.

“ You didn’t want Felix to know where we were going?”

“ You don’t know what we’re doing today either, do you?”

Stella said nothing.

Fair enough,

Aaron had only told her to go with Leah last night.

He had never said what they would be doing.

“ So what you told Felix just now wasn’t really where we’re going?”

+15

Leah put it that way , then she had clearly not been telling Felix the full truth.

Leah nodded.

“That’s right.”

“ Then what are we doing? ”

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Stella sighed. “ You’re being awfully mysterious about it.”

That only made her more curious.

After passing through downtown , the car turned onto a rough , winding mountain road.

They went farther and farther from the city .

If Aaron had not personally arranged this the night before, Stella might have worried Leah was taking her somewhere to sell off.

Stella was already prone to motion sickness .

On a road like this , she quickly began to feel unwell.

“What exactly are we doing out here?”

This place was too remote.

Leah glanced at her in the rearview mirror and noticed that Stella had gone pale.

“Carsick?”

Leah was strikingly beautiful in a cool , distant way.

Long blond hair. A black tactical vest. Military– style cargo pants.

She looked like a bodyguard on an assignment.

Beautiful , but with something dangerously sharp about her.

Stella nodded. “A little . ”

The mountain roads twisted endlessly , and the surface was rough.

She was definitely getting carsick.

Leah slowed the car slightly.

Then she said, “ Wherever I take you today, whatever we have you do, don’t tell Mr. Hernandez.”

Stella’s eyelid twitched sharply.

She did not understand.

“Why?”

But the moment she asked , she seemed to understand part of it.

No matter how close she and Felix were, there were certain things about the Hogarth family that could not be shared freely

Still , back in Harbor City, Aaron had always made it clear that Felix could be trusted.

50 was Leah saying this because Aaron had ordered it?

Or was it simply her own professional instinct?
